e.l.f Eyelid Primer Review

This primer is an absolute lifesaver. Being a student I have not been able to afford an eye primer, but when I saw this elf primer at Kmart, I thought, for $5, lets give this a go! And wow, this has got to be one of the best $5 I have spent! (I have the white eye primer)

Usually, my eye shadow wears off half way through the day (or sometimes even after a couple of hours) but with this primer, I get a super vibrant result with my eyeshadow, which lasts the entire day! It ends up looking the same from morning, until night.

The packaging is very basic and boring, and they could have put more product into the tube, as it only seemed to be about 3/4 full when I first brought it. I found myself having to dig the wand towards the sides of the container to pick up the product, however I am not complaining! I will be buying this primer from now on, as it does the trick, and is perfect for me.

I would definitely recommend trying this out, especially if you dont have any other primers :)

I had honestly never even heard of eyelid primer but it looked something like liquid eyeshadow and I need to add a few extra $$ to my order to get a first-buyer discount so, hey! Haha.

The packaging is just as you see above. Fairly simple but I wouldn't expect anything amazing from such a cheap product and it's easy enough to hold and use.

The tip often gets a lot of product on it so I just dab it on my eyelids and then rub it in/ around with my finger. Haha. Hopefully that's not a no-no.

I've really enjoyed using this product because (as long as you wait for it to set for a little bit) it holds all of your eye makeup in place, which is especially exciting if you have done some eyeshadow masterpiece. Haha. I'll be using this product every time I want my eye makeup to hold for the whole day or night. :)

I have this primer in the tone 'Sheer' and after using Urban Decay's renowned original Primer Potion I actually prefer this one. I find it does the same job as my primer potion and at a fraction of the cost. The packaging is simple and makes it easy to apply. Just swipe the applicator over your lids, blend it in, wait for it to dry and you're ready to apply your eye shadow. I can't go without this product, it stops my shadows from creasing and helps my shadow colours and eye liner last all day. I like that it also makes the colours more opaque so I can use less and get the same colour pay-off. Can't beat it!

What can I say, other than BUY IT AND TRY IT!

This eye primer is soft and a light thin consistency, which blends effortlessly, it has a dofa applicator which gives you a good amount of product.

No fragrance which is perfect for the eyes, as other products can cause irritation. Also it last all day without creasing on my eyes which get really oily!

The packaging is very basic and cheap, and it isn't particularly large bottle, but for the price of $1.99 its amazing and so worth the price!

i got a mini one of these with one of my eye shadow purcheses with them, so i really cant complain about a free primer! however my eyelid does get a little oily during the day so found the crease proof quote coming into question as it did with me, either then that i do like this primer and do find i get a better colour payoff with my shadows when using this as apposed to using nothing

I have never used an eyelid primer before until I purchased the e.l.f. eyelid primer!!

Wow I never thought I had a problem with my shadows coming off during the day until I used the primer. My eye shadow does not move at all!! After 10-12 hours my eye shadow still looks like it has been just applied1!

it has basic packaging, with a doe foot applicator its light and unscented which is great as the eyes can tend to be more sensitive.

It applies very smoothly and dries very quickly I generally will run my finger over once applied just to smooth out a bit more.

I have the nude (sheer) and find it is great for enhancing most colours of eye shadow. I would suggest not to use a huge amount as you don't need it, and then you don't have to worry about unsmooth looking eye shadow.

I would recommend this product to others as its very reasonably priced, easy to apply and is a great enhancer .

This product is easy to remove at the end of the day.

I have repurchased this primer about 3 times, but I'm still not sure about it. I've never used another lid primer so I don't have anything to really compare it to, but my current one is almost dry and I will be trying something else to see. It's just a fine product. It does make my eye makeup last a wee bit longer, but not enough for me to rave about. Has a velvety texture once applied to the lid. Good if you want something inexpensive and not much of a loss if it doesn't work out.

I dont hate it, but its not really my favourite. BUT for the price $3 on iherb you cant complain and it does stop creasing so thats a plus. On a down note, its quite thin and didnt effect the actual look/out come of my eyeshadow aplication, which is why I brought it. But its good to make the shadow last longer, I do however like the more expensive primers over this but its to be expected as you get what you pay for in most cases.

I won't bother buying any more primers - this one does the job well, and it's very affordable! It has a slightly oily texture which is odd when you apply it considering you want oil free lids, but it dries down well. Makes my eyeshadow last all day, despite my naturally oily lids. Don't use too much, and blend it in well with your finger. I prefer the 'sheer' shade. I also have 'pearl', but I didn't find it as long lasting and it was too sparkly.
